Ordained Praise does not mean we are physically ordained. Rather we are spiritually ordained in Christ to meet the needs of our children. The Holy Spirit sends his guidance which enables us to reach out and understand the needs and desires of our children. Anything can happen when Christ is the center!

7 Quick Takes

1) We had a successful march in our town's parade last night. Candy was flying everywhere. The swim team is great fun for the kids and the families are great too. Two of my children are lifeguards. One is a coach in training and helps all the little ones learn how to swim. It's great to see her helping families in our community. Some parents even ask her to teach their young ones private lessons. She makes good money doing this and enjoys the children.

2) I'm filling out my Body Clutter Investigator form and it is helping me take better care of my health and loose weight.

3) Saturday night we attend the Adult Pool Party. We are looking forward to more fun with other parents on the swim team. I will post pictures here later.

4) I just found out that my mother broke her wrist when she fell. Please pray for her continued healing. She is lucky my brother was there to help her up and bring her to the hospital which is near her house.

5) When I brought my son to swim team practice on Friday, I spent my time running my legs instead of running my mouth. I walked around the pool that isn't opened yet to get some exercise. This was good for me. Anytime I have the opportunity to exercise, I should take advantage of it.

6) My seven year old can now swim the length of the pool on his own. It was so good to see his little body in the giant pool working hard to get to the other side to get his ribbon and cookie.

7) Patrick was complaining about his hand hurting from swimming so he wasn't able to do his math. Then I said, "you can't type and use the mouse on the computer either." He said that it takes more energy to write than type. I told hime that he had to prove it with a science experiment. He quickly changed his mind and did his math.

About Me

Our family is very blessed with five beautiful children who are striving to follow Our Dear Lord in everything they take on in life. We have been fortunate to be very active in their education and have benefitted from some very fine Catholic schools. We devoted our marriage to the Blessed Mother and believe she brings our prayers to the Lord which unites us in the Faith. Our Faith life is central to all our endeavors.

"Stay Out of the Thorns"

Order the game I created for children 3 to 10 years old that reinforces some biblical passages and is loads of fun to play. (Adults will like it too.) It is very easy to learn. I have not priced it yet but am working towards trying to make it more affordable. I used it for the Co-op class I taught and the children loved it. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to play. See my website http://www.nucleusoflife.com/ under the teacher aids section for a customers feedback/description on this game.
